Facial massager

ABSTRACT

A facial massager wherein at the opening end of a case an elastic friction plate is mounted on the rotary shaft of a motor contained in the case, projected fins are provided on the surface of the friction plate, an inlet hole is bored between the projected fins, a piston in a cylinder provided in projection at right angles to the case is reciprocated by a crank of the rotary shaft, and stains on the face are absorbed by the absorbing action of the piston, massaging the face with the friction plate.

This invention is characterized in that an elastic friction plate on thesurface of which arc-shaped or spiral projected fins are radiallyformed, is detachably mounted on the shaft of a motor contained in acase at the opening end of the case, in this case a suction rubber filmor a piston is provided and stains on the face are absorbed from aroundof the friction plate by the absorbing action of the suction rubber orthe piston which is reciprocated by means of an optional interlockingdevice, massaging the face with the friction plate being rotated by themotor.

Further, this invention is characterized in that between said projectedfins in said massager, an inlet port is bored in said friction plate andstill more an oil basin provided in projection with numberless suctionpipes is fitted onto the lowersurface of said friction plate and apiston in a cylinder provided in projection at right angles to the caseis reciprocated by means of a crank of a rotary shaft and stains on theface are absorbed by the absorbing action of the piston, massaging theface with the friction plate or stains at the root of hair are suckedout, putting the outer end of the cylinder on the face and regulating asuction pressure by a regulating screw.

HO. 1 is a partial longitudinal section side view of a first embodiment;

FIG. 2 is a partially broken plan view;

FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal section side view of a secondembodiment; and

FIG. 4 is a plan view.

The first embodiment of this invention will now be described withreference to the accompanying drawmgs.

A support shaft 2 of an elastic friction plate 1 on the surface of whicharc-shaped projected fins 8 are radially formed is detachably fittedonto a rotary shaft 5 of a motor 4 contained in a case 3 at the openingend of the case 3 and a suction rubber film 6 or a piston provided inthe case is adapted to be reciprocated, for instance, by means of aninterlocking device consisting of a cam 7 mounted on said shaft 5 and afollower 9 connected to said rubber film 6.

in this invention, the motor 4 is rotated by an optional power sourceand a suitable cleansing cream is applied on the surface of the frictionplate 1 and whereby the face is massaged and at the same time stains onthe face are absorbed from around the friction plate by the absorbingaction of the reciprocating suction rubber film 6 or the piston. Namely,impurities at the root of hair are pushed out. holding oil films withthe projected fins 8 of the friction plate 1 and these impurities areabsorbed by the absorbing action around the friction plate 1, so thatstains on the skin of the face are completely removed and circulation ofthe blood is accelerated and an ideal massage takes place and removingthe friction plate, stains on the face can be ab sorbed by the absorbingaction alone.

Next, in the second embodiment, at the opening end of a case 11 anelastic friction plate 1 3 is mounted on a rotary shaft 13 of a motor 12contained in the case 11, spiral projected fins 15 are provided on thesurface of the friction plate and an inlet port 16 is bored between thefins 15 and further an oil basin 18 provided in projection withnumberless suction pipes 17 is fitted on the lower surface of thefriction plate 14 and a piston 20 is a cylinder 19 provided inprojection at right angles to the case 11 is adapted to be reciprocatedby a crank 21 of the rotary shaft 13 and the outer end of the cylinder19 is provided with a suction pressure reg ulating screw 22.

In this embodiment, the elastic friction plate 14 is rotated by therotation of the motor 12 through the rotary shaft 13, a cleansing creamor the like is applied on the surface of the friction plate 14, withwhich the face is massaged, and by the absorbing action of the piston 20being reciprocated by the crank 21, stains on the face are absorbed fromaround the friction plate 14 or the inlet port 16, so that in this casethe oil basin 18 rec'eives oil or impurities and stains in the case isprevented and stains or impurities at the root of hair or the like aredirectly sucked out by the absorbing action of the piston, putting theouter end of the cylinder 19 on the face. In this case a suctionpressure can be regulated at will by the regulating screw 22.

As mentioned above, in this invention, there is a special feature that amassage takes place, holding an oil film such as cleansing cream and atthe same time impurities at the root of hair are pushed out and absorbedor by directly sucking out stains with the cylinder, stains on the skinof the face are completely removed and thus an ideal effect of facialmassage can be obtained.
